Upon hearing this, Zheng Yao immediately stopped, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Is it wrong for me to wipe up the water I spilled?"
Lin Ran snorted coldly, glanced at her, her eyes full of distrust.
"Who told you to always do bad things? Otherwise, you wouldn't be suspected so easily when you do something. You'd better stay away from Song Mai. Based on what you've done before, if she goes missing something, we'll suspect you first!"
Zheng Yao's heart skipped a beat as she scrutinized Lin Ran's every move.
He wondered if she knew something.
However, Lin Ran seemed to be just saying these words without giving them much thought, and then went back to work.
Zheng Yao felt a little relieved, and with a quick glance around, she opened her arms and said to everyone:
“Since she suspects me, then let everyone be my witnesses. I didn’t take anything from her; I just wiped a few drops of water on my hand.”
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that Zheng Yao's hands were still wet.
"If Song Mai loses something herself, don't blame it on me."
With that, she swayed her hips and walked away.
No one paid her any attention. Everyone knew that Zheng Yao had a significant connection in the company. Of course, some people guessed it was Fang Yu, but they all lacked evidence. However, the things Zheng Yao did one after another made the entire department dislike her.
So everyone just looked up and no one said anything.
But somewhere no one was looking, Zheng Yao curled up a smug smile.
She stroked the USB drive in her pocket, a hint of excitement rising in her heart.
She simply couldn't believe that the bitch could evade her every time, no matter how many times she tried!
The better that bitch's luck is, the more she wants to make Song Mai suffer!
Zheng Yao had seen what Song Mai's USB drive looked like; it was the most ordinary and cheapest model.
She easily found the same USB drive as Song Mai with a simple online search, almost without much effort.
She didn't have any specific plans or ideas at first; she just bought it in the hopes that she might need it someday. She never expected that such a day would actually come.
The more Zheng Yao thought about it, the more smug she felt, thinking she had been very prescient.
She sat in the chair at the front desk, her eyes practically brimming with interest.
The thought of Song Mai going to great lengths to go on a business trip and being entrusted with an important task, only to find that the USB drive was empty, made Zheng Yao so happy she almost laughed out loud.
Since she's stayed at this company, she's determined not to let Song Mai have an easy time!
Song Mai was completely unaware of this matter.
She was still hesitating whether it was necessary to bring a paper copy of the document after she had copied the file Fang Yu had sent her.
The company computer couldn't connect to the internet, so she couldn't open the files Fang Yu sent her after she left the company. That's why she copied them to a USB drive.
Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any problems, but it would be safer to bring a paper copy of the document as well.
Just as Song Mai hesitated, Fang Yu walked over, seemingly seeing through her thoughts:
“There are quite a few paper documents. It’s not impossible for you to bring them, but they’re heavy and inconvenient. After all, you didn’t have time to go home and don’t have a suitcase. It would be difficult for you to carry them all by yourself. Don’t worry, there are printers in the meeting venue. You can go to the meeting venue to familiarize yourself with it after you arrive this afternoon and print out the materials while you’re there.”
There were indeed a lot of meeting documents. Song Mai picked them up in a bag and tried to carry them; they weighed about 20 pounds. In addition, she also had to bring her computer and other things. All these odds and ends combined made it quite a difficult task for her to carry them all by herself.
Lin Ran chimed in, "I feel the same way. These documents are like a ton of bricks. If you try to carry them yourself, you'll probably be unable to move an inch. And the station is so big. If you're all alone, you'll have to carry them yourself even if you can't lift them. Since there's a printer, you might as well go and print them out sooner rather than later."
Following their advice, Song Mai ultimately decided not to bring the large stack of paper documents.
She sent Chu Xing a voice message explaining the arrangements for this impromptu business trip.
The man didn't say anything, but just told her to be careful while she was out alone.
After all, she always had someone else with her on business trips in the past, but this time she really had to do everything on her own.
After Song Mai agreed, she also gave him a few simple instructions, which were nothing more than telling him to be careful of the Song family and Liu Weiqiang.
Even if he is very skilled, a skilled fighter can't beat two fists, and no matter how powerful one person is, he can't fight against many people.
She didn't want to see him get involved or hurt because of her.
Song Mai even suggested that he could go back to the Chu family home for a few days.
The man didn't say much, he just agreed.
But when I saw the message that Song Mai asked me to stay at the Chu family's house for a few days, for some reason, a phrase flashed through my mind: going back to my parents' home!
Just a few seconds after the word appeared, Chu Xing suddenly found himself extremely funny.
He's really used to living off women. He's so convincing in his acting that he's become so immersed in the role that he actually has such thoughts. It's ridiculous.
He was discussing with several vice presidents their desire to enter the software development field and acquire a company when a WeChat message suddenly popped up while he was listening to one of the vice presidents.
He suddenly burst out laughing at a casual glance.
This immediately silenced the vice president who was giving his opinion.
For a moment, I was quite confused, and even had the thought that my opinion might be ridiculous.
The vice president quickly explained, "President, if you feel there's anything wrong with my opinion, please feel free to point it out."
But Chu Xing seemed not to hear him at all, immersed in his own world, with a faint smile on his lips.
His eyes, which were always as cold as a frozen pool, suddenly opened up as if touched by a spring breeze, and blossomed with spring warmth.
The vice president couldn't help but ask his assistant, Lu, who was standing next to him, in a low voice:
"Is the CEO... in love?"
Assistant Lu wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it in; however, he could hardly suppress the urge to smile.
“Vice President Li, the president doesn’t like people asking about his private matters, so it’s best if you don’t ask, otherwise it might be…”
As he spoke, he jokingly made a throat-slitting gesture.
Vice President Li immediately stopped speaking.
Assistant Lu's joke went a bit too far. Chu Xing certainly wouldn't really kill them all, but given his methods and past ruthlessness, Vice President Li was absolutely certain that he wouldn't have a good time in the company from now on.
His strong will to survive prevented him from asking any further questions.
Several vice presidents who had prepared their reports immediately fell silent, staring at each other and waiting for Chu Xing to come to his senses.
